same thing for me: after a suspend/resume, the brightness can be set so low that I thought my laptop was not resuming properly. So it's just as if the 0-256 brightness is now coded on 0-65535 or something like this. This is great for a smoother brightness control, but it seems default value for brightness and brightness increment have not been adapted to that.
-- brightness control with a too low increment (+-1) compare to brightness number (>10000) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662420 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Bug description: Hello, For some days, my brightness control do not work on mbp 6.2 + Lucid. Although the brightness level is displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen when I press the F1 and F2 keys, the brightness level does not change at all. However, trying sudo pommed -d in a terminal gives me: KEY: LCD backlight down LCD stepping -1 -> 29464 E: Not primary DBus name owner KBD: inhibit clear 0x08 -> 0x00 KEY: LCD backlight down LCD stepping -1 -> 29463 E: Not primary DBus name owner when I press two times the F1 key (=>decrease brightness). So it seems the stepping (-1) is just too small compared to the number representing the brightness (here: 29464), the brightness control is just too slow to be visible on a human time scale.. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
